Google Scholar API

Google Does Not Offer an Official Scholar API

If you searched for “Google Scholar API,” you are not alone. Millions of developers need programmatic access to academic papers, but Google Scholar has no public API. Building your own scraper means handling CAPTCHAs, IP blocks, HTML parsing, and constant maintenance.

BitLore solves this with a simple REST API that returns clean, structured JSON. One endpoint, one API key, and you are searching Google Scholar in minutes — without managing proxies or parsers.
